For weeks, the team had been talking to various state governments, private colleges, large public-university systems, and major sports leagues. He received Nature Methods First Method of the Year Award, The Irvington Institute's Corporate Leadership Award in Science, the Connecticut Medal of Technology, the DGKL Biochemical Analysis Prize, and an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He founded 454 Life Sciences, bringing to market the first new method for sequencing . Gene Machine Yacht Owner Jonathan Rothberg Blends Fun & Science Onboard The pilot demonstrated that what Id done by myself with ease on the boat might prove less than straightforward when attempted en masse, and when Rosenbluth asked Sharp if she thought the test would suit their needs, she explained, with the patience and diplomacy of someone long accustomed to lab instruction, that she thought there was some work to be done before theyd be ready to roll it out on the order of fifteen hundred or three thousand students per day. But Elana and the intern, Yale student Stephen Wang, are energized about the possibilities. The rollout of such a testing regime, according to Michael Mina, an epidemiologist at Harvard and a co-author of the study, can effectively be akin to a vaccine that was introduced tomorrow. For this reason, many epidemiologists and public-health experts have pushed the F.D.A. His optimism was, according to his employees, characteristic; Owen Kaye-Kauderer, a co-founder of Homodeus and one of the many bright, industrious twentysomethings with whom Rothberg regularly collaborates, told me that Rothbergs ideal company featured one domain expert surrounded by seven kids who dont know that what theyre trying to do cant be done. At the same time, Rothbergs suspicion that by the beginning of the summer there would still be an urgent need for his intervention betrayed a realism, even a pessimism, about the likelihood of a competent centralized response. I liked having a nucleic-acid test before I brought someone onto my boat, for example, where the attack rate wouldve been horrible.. Theyre also found everywhere there are an estimated 100 quadrillion individual bacterial microorganisms on Earth, a dizzying figure known as a nonillion. Rothberg is now back working at a land-based lab in his hometown of Guilford, Connecticut.
